Amazfit just unveiled its most costly smartwatch to date, the Amazfit Falcon. It is a robust watch, as you could have guessed from the name, but it is more than that. It is the brand’s first GPS multisport luxury watch, and it boasts excellent build quality. Because of these and other qualities, it can easily compete with the top hardcore smartwatches on the market. When it comes to professional smartwatches, Garmin is unquestionably one of the best brands available. Garmin’s most recent series is the Fenix 7 series, with the vanilla version priced in the same range as the new Huami watch. That is why it is time for a thorough comparison of these two wearables. So, here’s a comparison of the key features of the Amazfit Falcon vs the Garmin Fenix 7.

It is waterproof up to 20 ATM, making it one of the greatest water-resistant smartwatches ever. The strap is constructed of liquid silicon, and the smartwatch has passed fifteen military drops tests. Although it has a higher build quality than the Garmin Fenix 7 Series, the Garmin is still an excellent robust watch. The Garmin Fenix 7 is constructed of stainless steel, stainless steel with PVD finish, or titan with DLC treatment, depending on the version. This smartwatch has glass that has been chemically hardened. All variants in the series meet American military specifications and can tolerate harsh heat conditions as well as water. The Garmin Fenix 7 is waterproof to 10 ATM and available in a variety of sizes ranging from 47 mm to 51 mm, although the vanilla version is 47 mm.

It has one of the greatest smartwatch panels ever seen.
